I'm fairly certain that it did based on the first Gulf War. Had that not occurred, it would've been more tricky. So unless Dana has some legal point to make, she seems to be making the was-it-smart point. That's a totally different question and of course I'd say hell no. Then there's the whole question of what we do now that we're there. I'd say we stay and essentially create a democracy as best we can. If Iraq dissolves into civil war, or if the insurgents take over the minute we leave, or if the country votes to become a dictatorship or theocracy, then the war will have been for nothing. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~| Message: http://www.houseoffusion.com/lists.cfm/link=i:5:210196 Archives: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/threads.cfm/5 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/lists.cfm/link=s:5 Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/unsubscribe.cfm?user=89.70.5 Donations & Support: http://www.houseoffusion.com/tiny.cfm/54
